Infinite Rumination is a VR panoramic work that stages busyness as an architecture of mental entropy. Drawing on Mihály Csíkszentmihályi’s concept of flow, the work turns the loss of psychic order into a spatial condition: a panoramic structure where repetition, pressure and fragmented attention accumulate.

The work treats architectural complexity as a metaphor for the psyche. Corridors, partitions and unstable structures form an interior landscape in which reality and the subconscious overlap. Busyness appears as a mode of consciousness shaped by social constraint, deferred desire and continuous self-regulation.

Through the VR panorama, the viewer enters a mental field where movement, obstruction and disorder become visible. The work examines how the mind organises itself under pressure, and how inner turbulence can be felt as space.
